Fruit-bearing plant ACDELICI

Description
Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) is a vigorous, twining perennial vine cultivated for its edible fruit. It is commonly trained on horizontal wires against a warm wall or pergola and pruned to maintain manageable size and efficient crop management. Plants have borderline hardiness; young flowering shoots are often injured by late spring frosts. In cold regions, warm shelter (preferably under glass) is recommended. Female plants require a male pollinator; one male can fertilise up to seven fruiting plants. The cultivar 'Hayward' is widely used in commercial production and is noted for high yields and good flavour.
